Week 36 – Village Weavers (South Africa)

I learned about village weavers on my trip to South Africa last summer. They make super cool nests—they build their own little bird houses that hang down from the tree branches.
I'm not in love with this composition. I wanted to show the whole tree, to show the effect of the hanging nests. But I think I'd like a closer crop on just two or three nests. And space to do a better representation of the birds themselves.

About Me

I am an artist living and working in Minneapolis, MN. I studied illustration at the Savannah College of Art and Design. I do a little freelance illustration and also sell my work from my studio and at art fairs. I work part time as a graphic designer as well.
My husband, son, and I live in the Longfellow neighborhood.
